External events

The multidisciplinary COST Action IS1404 E-READ has fostered a great deal of empirical research on the effects of the wholesale adoption of screens for reading. The conference "Books and screens and the reading brain" was intended to showcase some of the preliminary findings. What really changes and why? But these findings also need contextualisation, relating them to the history and present practice of reading and the social history of literacy. The conference was co-organized with SHARP – The Society for the History of Authorship, Reading, and Publishing, and took place at Vilnius University, Lithuania, on September 27-27.
